Yes, I like Alternative Medicine, because, I like its approaches to common diseases and health problems. And its practices on nutritional and natural remedies that may be overlooked by conventional physicians. You might reasonably ask yourself, why? The simple answer is that there is little money to be made in the use of natural remedies, regardless of how beneficial they may be for the patient. Conventional modern medicine generates over a trillion dollars a year by prescribing patented drugs and costly, often dangerous, invasive diagnostic and surgical techniques. There is an obvious place for these approaches: I use them myself and recommend them when appropriate, but conventional medicine should not exclude the use of safer often more effective and for less expensive therapies. herbs by themselves can only be expected to do so much. For optimal results they should be used in the context of a natural wholesome diet, ample exercise and rest, a positive attitude, fulfilling work, and a simple lifestyle. This combination will almost always have a favorable influence on ones health and often induces healing where modern medicine has failed. However, it must be understood that there can never be any guarantees that herbs will always help or heal every health problem for which they are indicated. There is no form of medicine, herbal or otherwise, that can make such a guarantee |
